Three thatched huts were erected outside the Toll Gate, one
for persons from an infected area, one for contacts, one to be used
as a hospital. Water,servants, guards, disposal of excreta were
arranged, but fortunately not used or required.
Anti cholera vaccine ran out and supplies could not be obtained
from either India or the United Kingdom. Later the Chief Quarantine
Medical Officer Bahrain sent supplies to Muscat.
There were no cases of small pox in Muttrah or Muscat although
alarmist rumours were current that small pox had broken out in Muttrah.
Neither the Quarantine Medical Officer nor Dr. Thoms of the American
Medical Mission hospital saw any such cases.
The supply of vaccine lymph from India is causing anxiety.
The Assistant Director of Public Health, West Punjab, states that
further supply of vaccine lymph every week has been stopped till
normal arrangements for mail are restored. Ms cat is not on any air
route, shipping is irregular, and if India, the only country that
can possibly supply Muscat with fairly fresh lymph now closes down on
such supplies the situation is extremely dangerous.

Very early in the year the ImanMs health was in a precarious
condition and it was feared that he would die. However in March His
Highness the Sultan received information from the interior that the
Imam had recovered sufficiently to dispel fears of his death in the
near future. At the time of the Imam 1 s illness some pressure was
brought to bear on him regarding the nomination of a successor, but
apparently he refused to do so. The general consensus of opinion at
that time v/as that in the event of the Imam's death without his nominating
a successor, serious disturbances would result in the interior in a
general bid for the Iraamate.
